4.1.1 Programming Recommendations
Recommendations
for programming
the 81150A /
81160A
This section lists some recommendations for programming the instrument.
Start programming from the default setting. The common command
for setting the default setting is:
*RST
Switch off the automatic update of the display to increase the
programming speed. The device command for switching off the
display is:
:DISPlay OFF
The SCPI standard defines a long and a short form of the commands.
For fast programming speed it is recommended to use the short
forms. The short forms of the commands are represented by upper
case letters. For example the short form of the command to set 100
ns pulse delay is:
:PULS:DEL 100NS
To improve programming speed it is also allowed to skip optional
subsystem command parts. Optional subsystem command parts are
depicted in square brackets, e.g.: Set edge time in seconds by 4 ns
[:SOURce]:PULSe:TRANsition[1|2][:LEADING]
Sufficient to use:
:PULS:TRAN
sets the leading edge in seconds output 1
The commands to set the timing and level parameters, 81150A /
81160A is a real 2 channel instrument have to be specified for output
1 and output 2. If there is no output specified the command will set
the default output 1. So, for setting a high level of 3 Volts for output 1
and output 2 the commands are:
:VOLT:HIGH 3V
# sets high level of 3 V at out 1
:VOLT1:HIGH 3V
# sets high level of 3 V at out 1
:VOLT2:HIGH 3V
# sets high level of 3 V at out 2
